WRT54G Config I was given one from my company that no one could use due to the fact that the tech that had configured it is no longer with us. Just need to find out how to get into it and wipe out the current configuration and just let it be wide open. I have tried the trick to hold reset then plug in power to reset defaults but this did not work for me.

Have you tried doing so? Most likely presets from one device will not work on another. You can try though, it should not cause any problems. Worst case you just perform a factory reset on your router if the configuration gets messed up by trying to load the preset from your WRT54G.

Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation to the console port of the router.Use these terminal settings:

1 stop bit

No flow control

If you can access the router, type show version at the prompt, and record the configuration register setting. Note: The configuration register is usually set to 0x2102 or 0x102. If you can no longer access the router (because of a lost login or TACACS password), you can safely assume that your configuration register is set to 0x2102.

Use the power switch in order to turn off the router, and then turn the router back on.Important Notes:

Different ISPs require different configurations. If you have a Linksys router, such as the WRT54G, there are 2 ways on how you can configure it, either by running the Setup CD or by doing manual configuration. This particular router has its own web utility and you can access it by typing its IP addres on your web browser, ex. http://192.168.1.1. By default, it doesn’t have any username and its password is admin.

Once you’re inside the setup page, you can configure now the router for DHCP, PPPoE or STATIC IP settings. For DSL customers using a PPPoE account, some modem needs to be configured into BRIDGE MODE first and then the router will be set to PPPoE with the correct username and password (given by ISP). If your a DHCP account, modem doesn’t require any configuration. It will work with its default setting and the router would be set to DHCP. Once done, powercycle your devices to establish internet connection.
